Review

This book does everything it says it will; giving you almost all the instruments that a composer would normally write for, and their ranges. Being a music student at the moment, i found it helped me with understanding transposition more than i did; knowing what the difference betweein sounding pitch and written pitch is. If you need a book just as a reference for instrumentation and especially for finding the best instruments that go together, then this is for you, even to keep as an instrument reference on your shelf.See more reviews byMasey - (Airdrie, United Kingdom)
